About the File Clerk Role at Robert Half

Robert Half is proud to partner with a dynamic non-profit organization in Brooklyn, New York, to find a meticulous File Clerk for a rewarding contract position. If you have a passion for organization, a keen eye for detail, and experience managing both physical and digital records, this opportunity is perfect for you. As a File Clerk, you'll be at the heart of ensuring seamless document management, helping the non-profit maintain accurate, accessible, and secure records that support their vital community missions.

This contract role offers hands-on experience in a supportive environment, ideal for administrative professionals looking to build their skills in record-keeping, digitization, and compliance. Located in the vibrant borough of Brooklyn, New York, United States, you'll contribute to meaningful work while enjoying the energy of one of NYC's most iconic neighborhoods. Robert Half specializes in connecting top talent like you with roles that match your expertise, providing a pathway to long-term career growth in administrative and operations fields.

Why This Role Stands Out

In today's digital age, efficient file management is crucial for non-profits handling sensitive data, grants, donor records, and program documentation. You'll play a pivotal role in transitioning paper-based systems to modern digital archives, enhancing efficiency and reducing retrieval times. This position is not just about filing—it's about safeguarding information that drives organizational success and community impact.

Key Responsibilities

As a File Clerk, your daily tasks will keep the organization's records organized and compliant. Here's what you'll do:

• Organize physical files: Maintain alphabetical, numerical, or chronological filing systems for quick access.
• Digitize records: Scan and index paper documents using high-quality scanners and software.
• Audit files regularly: Conduct checks to verify completeness, accuracy, and currency of records.
• Manage e-filing: Upload and categorize digital files in secure databases or cloud systems.
• Secure disposal: Shred and dispose of outdated documents per legal and organizational protocols.
• Collaborate on improvements: Work with teams to streamline processes and implement best practices.
• Retrieve documents: Respond promptly to requests for specific files, ensuring confidentiality.
• Ensure compliance: Adhere to data protection standards like HIPAA or internal policies.

These responsibilities demand precision and efficiency, making this role ideal for those who excel in structured, detail-focused work.

Required Qualifications

To succeed as our File Clerk, bring these qualifications to the table:

• High school diploma or GED; associate's degree in office administration preferred.
• At least 1 year of hands-on experience as a file clerk, records specialist, or similar role.
• Proficiency in scanning tools, Microsoft Office, and basic document management software (e.g., Adobe Acrobat, SharePoint).
• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to handle large volumes of documents.
• Demonstrated commitment to confidentiality and data security.
• Strong communication skills for team collaboration and request handling.
• Physical ability to lift file boxes (up to 25 lbs) and stand for extended periods.
• Familiarity with non-profit operations or legal compliance is a plus.

No advanced degree required—this role values practical experience and a proactive mindset. Robert Half provides training to ensure you're set for success.
